The brands have spoken, and they want you to know that domestic violence and sexual assault are bad. In fact, the brands not only think they're bad, but have a theory as to why they persist: the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault don't have a strong enough brand. So, to help get America talking about…»2/05/15 3:26pm 2/05/15 3:26pm

In a bit of an ironic advertising controversy, the same city that allows prostitution ads to be handed out on its resort-lined boulevards has rejected some ads from the Sharper Image which show Heidi Klum and her partially clothed, but concealed 41 year-old body. Heidi is apparently too hot for Vegas' McCarran Airport. »12/23/14 1:51pm 12/23/14 1:51pm

I'll tell you when I first realized that we have a serious problem. It was just a few days ago, when I came up behind a car in traffic with one of those enormous plastic license plate frames. Printed on top was the name of the dealer – something like "ANDERSON MOTORS." And on the bottom, in the same enormous font,… »9/16/14 4:06pm 9/16/14 4:06pm

Life is strange and unpredictable. Some things have to be seen to be believed, and even then it can be tough to trust your own peepers. Take Milan’s Piazza Mercanti, for instance. It recently became home to what appears to be a submarine bursting through the asphalt. Wait, what? »10/03/13 10:25am 10/03/13 10:25am

KIA Canada has some new ads out that double as helpful Public Service Announcements about how if you get in their cars to drive and you decide to use that time to multitask and put on makeup, the car will kill you. Death sells! »9/06/13 1:50pm 9/06/13 1:50pm

SRT (you might remember them as part of Chrysler, but now it's sort of its own brand, even though everything except for the Viper is really just a hot version of another Dodge or Chrysler or Jeep, so just go with it) just debuted this ad campaign explaining what it really means to love the motor vehicle. »6/16/13 10:00am 6/16/13 10:00am

Is this pizza-delivering drone from Dominos just a publicity stunt, or a tantalizing look at the future of food delivery? Because while the eight-bladed DomiCopter is a little impractical given it needs a skilled pilot, eventually autonomous drones will be capable of delivering a piping hot pizza in mere minutes… »6/04/13 5:43pm 6/04/13 5:43pm

Liberals love Subaru cars. In certain woodsy towns filled with wealthy former hippies, Subarus have long been the default automobile. So why is the company now mockingpublic transportation, the most hallowed of elite coastal liberal institutions? »5/10/13 1:58pm 5/10/13 1:58pm

Decades before Horton heard a Who and the Grinch stole Christmas, Theodor Seuss Geisel was an ad man. Returning from an aborted post graduate stint at Oxford in 1927, he needed a way to pay the bills. »8/23/12 2:00pm 8/23/12 2:00pm

Jaguar hardly needs advertising to make you want one. Since switching from producing motorcycle sidecars to building sleek luxury cars in 1935, the British great has created some of the most elegant cars the world has ever seen. But the advertisements are beautiful, too. They give those of us without the means to… »5/31/12 5:30pm 5/31/12 5:30pm

Ever since Colin Chapman came up with the idea of selling a race car chassis as advertising space in 1968, race cars have looked like dense mobile billboards. When a modern F1 team cannot sell on-car sponsorship, the result is both amusing and sad. »5/25/11 12:00pm 5/25/11 12:00pm
